Yesterday was Mother’s Day, let’s take a look at how the Falcons celebrated the special women in their lives.

Justin Hardy’s twitter feed is full of encouraging and driving quotes tweeting, “Thanking GOD for allowing me to see another day” almost daily. However, in addition to his daily thankful tweet, he made sure to thank his mother on the day of the year set aside for her. For Hardy, Mother’s Day is more than just a day for his mother. Losing his father four years ago, yesterday was a day to reflect and to be thankful for all that his parents did for him, but also to be thankful for all that he is able to now do for his mother. Now, he is her medium of support and strong provider, and he is blessed to be able to care for her in this difficult time without her husband.
